7 REV. 4/21


When the air actuator assy is depressed, the pressurized air inside of the tool is released allowing spring pressure to move the valve spool assy causing the air to be redirected. The air is directed to the top of the air piston assy, moving it in a downward direction. The air below the air piston assy is then directed through the valve sleeve and exhausted out of the bottom of the tool. Simultaneously, the piston rod assy connected to the air piston assy is also moving down, forcing hydraulic oil up and into the front side of the head cylinder assy, causing the piston to move to the rear of the head cylinder assy. The internal components of the attached nose assembly are also moving with the piston to start the fastener installation. When the fastener installation is completed, the air actuator assy is released. Air pressure is then built up inside of the handle assy causing the valve spool assy to return to its original position and reversing the sequence directing air pressure to the rear of the head cylinder assy, causing the piston to move to the forward position.

As a precaution, remove clothing and shoes if contaminated. To remove the material from skin, use soap and water. Discard contaminated clothing and shoes or thoroughly clean before reuse. Ingestion: No specific first aid measures are required. Do not induce vomiting. As a precaution, get medical advice. Inhalation: No specific first aid measures are required. If exposed to excessive levels of material in the air, move the exposed person to fresh air. Get medical attention if coughing or respiratory discomfort occurs. Note to Physicians: In an accident involving high-pressure equipment, this product may be injected under the skin. Such an accident may result in a small, sometimes bloodless, puncture wound. However, because of its driving force, material injected into a fingertip can be deposited into the palm of the hand. Within 24 hours, there is usually a great deal of swelling, discoloration, and intense throbbing pain. Immediate treatment at a surgical emergency center is recommended. FIRE Leaks/ruptures in high pressure system using materials of this type can create a fire hazard when in the vicinity of ignition sources (eg. open flame, pilot lights, sparks, or electric arcs). FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES: Flashpoint: (Cleveland Open Cup) 178 °C (352 °F) Minimum EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use water fog, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2) to extinguish flames. PROTECTION OF FIRE FIGHTERS: Fire Fighting Instructions: This material will burn although it is not easily ignited. See Section 7 for proper handling and storage. For fires involving this material, do not enter any enclosed or confined fire space without proper protective equipment, including self-contained breathing apparatus. Combustion Products: Highly dependent on combustion conditions. A complex mixture of airborne solids, liquids, and gases including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and unidentified organic compounds will be evolved when this material undergoes combustion. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Protective Measures: Eliminate all sources of ignition in vicinity of spilled material. Spill Management: Stop the source of the release if you can do it without risk. Contain release to prevent further contamination of soil, surface water or groundwater. Clean up spill as soon as possible. Use appropriate techniques such as applying non-combustible absorbent materials or pumping. Where feasible and appropriate, remove contaminated soil. Place contaminated materials in disposable containers and dispose of in a manner consistent with applicable regulations. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION Waste disposal: In accordance with all environmental regulations applicable to your area.

Spillage: Prevent entry into drains, sewers and water course. Soak up with diatomaceous earth or other inert material. Store in appropriate container for disposal. Ecotoxocity: This material is expected to be harmful to aquatic organisms and may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. The ecotoxicity hazard is based on an evaluation of data for the components or a similar material. HANDLING Precautionary Measures: DO NOT USE IN HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEMS in the vicinity of flames, sparks and hot surfaces. Use only in well ventilated areas. Keep container closed. Keep out of the reach of children. General Handling Information: Avoid contaminating soil or releasing this material into sewage and drainage systems and bodies of water. Static Hazard: Electrostatic charge may accumulate and create a hazardous condition when handling this material. To minimize this hazard, bonding and grounding may be necessary but may not, by themselves, be sufficient. Review all operations which have the potential of generating and accumulating an electrostatic charge and/or a flammable atmosphere (including tank and container filling, splash filling, tank cleaning, sampling, gauging, switch loading, filtering, mixing, agitation, and vacuum truck operations) and use appropriate mitigating procedures. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS Use material for its intended purpose or recycle if possible. Oil collection services are available for used oil recycling or disposal.
